This Old Gal is Smart
A friend at work recommended that I get this movie after telling her about the crazy old bat that lives in the condo above me. I laughed so hard at some of the scenes, learned a few tricks to use myself, and gave the old lady in the movie an A+ because she is way smarter than the old battle-ax I have to contend with everyday. This movie is a "must see" for anyone who lives below some old goat in an apartment or condo. The old lady is the optitome of the classical "neighbor from hell." I think we all can relate to this to some degree, especially those of us who live way too close to others!

This is another triumph for Drew Barrymore. A couple buys a house which already has an upstairs teneant of an old woman. The old lady gives them nothing but trouble, until they fantasize about killing her. it is very funny and enjoyable.

Mr Peabody Needs A Rubber Ducky
I'm not a big fan of Stiller, but I am of Barrymore. I absolutely love this movie. It's very fun and kept me laughing throughout the entire movie.

Barrymore and Stiller are looking for a bigger place because they eventually want to start a family. They found a terrific place in Brooklyn, but it comes with an elderly woman who lives in the upstairs apartment. They buy the building and become her new landlord.

The premise of the movie is that they want to try to get the old lady out of the apartment. Obviously she refuses and that's where the story really takes off.

What promises to be a friendly old lady soon becomes an annoyance. While Barrymore is at work as a graphic designer in a magazine, Stiller tries to enjoy his new office to finish his 2nd book. If he doesn't, the publisher will cancel his contract.

One thing after another follows Stiller and Barrymore until they seriously consider ending the life of their dear upstairs neighbor. The ending is very funny when all is revealed.

It is somewhat predictable, but I really enjoyed this movie. The chemistry between Stiller and Barrymore is solid. It was delightful watching them interact with each other. Overall, if you're looking for a movie that is lighthearted and fun, spend an evening watching Duplex.

Wolf in sheep's clothing
Slid this into the DVD player on a rainy afternoon, and spent two hours smiling now and then. Duplex is not a great art film, nor does it pretend or aim to be. But it's good for a few laughs, and other than using the old formula - one desperate problem solving attempt after another going south - it was pleasant enough. Eileen Essell, whom I've never seen before (at least I'm not aware of having seen her in anything) was a hoot as the Irish wolf in sheep's clothing. This movie will give you a new appreciation for rent control!
